ADVANTAGES OF SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM OVER COMMON
LIQUID EMULSION TECHNOLOGY
The Application:
- In a single step - By airless spray process, brush or lambskin roller - The Material can be applied without trickling or dripping off - The enhanced contact time enables an outstanding penetration depth
without waste of material
The Properties:
- Based on a special silane/siloxane with lower volatility - The consistency provides with enhanced contact time
The Effect:
- Tremendous reduction of water - High beading effect - High penetration depth - No discolouring of the surface - High speed penetration of the active content within < 20 min - The treated surface remains coatable
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM
– BENEFITS
Performance of Smartseal Masonry Protection Cream:
- Outperforms all creams for hydrophobic impregnation of facades on the market.
- Optimised active content with a special molecular weight distribution:
- Silanes for high penetration depths, Siloxanes with different molecular weights
and properties for medium penetration depth and surface effects
- Start with a small test area first. Especially for the most critical substrate: Limestone
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM
– BENEFITS
Re-coatability of facades treated with Smartseal Masonry Protection Cream:
No loss of adhesion by using silicone resin emulsion paints (SREP), emulsion paints,
silicate emulsion paints for coating of hydrophobic impregnated or primed surfaces.
All surface active materials (wetting agents) containing coatings are suitable. All pure mineral systems
(e.g. lime wash paints, pure silicate paint, and plasters based on cementitious plasters) are not suitable as
coatings for hydrophobic impregnated or primed surface.
Due to variations in paints formulations, substrate conditions and environmental factors, it is recommended to
apply a test section of paint over the Smartseal Masonry Cream treated surface to check for compatibility.
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM
– SURFACE PREPARATION
Preparation of a masonry surface for treatment with Smartseal Masonry Protection Cream:
For removal of normal dirt (e.g. grease, soot, moss algae, etc.) use a high-pressure cleaner and clean at a
low to medium pressure with 60°C hot water and a broad fan nozzle (not a point jet).
If the pressure is not sufficient it must be increased gradually.
No additives or cleaning agents may be added during cleaning, because surfactants increase surface
hydrophilicity. Mould or fungus should be removed with a chemical cleaner specifically designed for that
purpose, following the application instructions carefully, especially for neutralisation and rising of the
substrate. Never apply silane/siloxane-based water repellents to a visibly wet or damp surface. Wait at
least 48 to 72 hours of dry, sunny weather after pressure-cleaning a structure before beginning application
of Smartseal Masonry Protection Cream.
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM
– TESTING PROCEDURE – WATER UPTAKE
Capillary water absorption via immersion test (DIN 18180, EN 15148:2002):
- Apply the defined amount of the ready-to-use product to the substrate by brush
- Control applied amount by taking the weight before and after application
- Store the treated sample for 14 days at 25°C and 50% relative
humidity Testing of the water uptake:
- Take the weight
- Immersion for 24h into water with 5 cm water column above the sample
- Reweight after: 0.5h, 1h, 4h and 24h
- As reference an untreated substrate is tested parallel
Results:
- The tested product fulfils the requirement for good performance, if the reduction of
the water uptake within 24h is > 80% compared to the untreated substrate
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM –
TESTING PROCEDURE – PENETRATION DEPTH
Application of the hydrophobic agent and hardening:
- Apply the defined amount of the ready-to-use product to the substrate
- Control applied amount by taking the weight before and after application
- For curing and development of hydrophobicity, the sample are stored for 14 days at
25°C and 50% relative humidity
Measurement of the penetration depth:
- Afterwards the samples will be broken (i.e. with a hammer) and the broken surface is
wetter with coloured water. The hydrophobic zone does not absorb the coloured water light but does not
change appearance. The untreated, inner area, is not water repellent,
absorbs water and becomes darker. So the hydrophobic zone can be measured (i.e. with a ruler or
venier calipers) or it can be documented by taking a picture.
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM
– TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Characteristics
Smartseal Masonry Protection Cream (MPC) is an aqueous, solvent based, creamy hydrophobic
impregnating agent based on a mixture of silane and siloxane.
Smartseal MPC is a high quality speciality product for hydrophobic impregnation of natural mineral substrate.
Application
Smartseal MPC is recommended for the hydrophobic impregnation of mineral substrates like brick,
limestone and sandstone. With proper application it leads to a low water uptake, a high penetration depth
and a good beading effect.
The natural appearance of the treated surface remains unchanged.
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM
– TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Processing
Smartseal Masonry Protection Cream is best applied to the substrate by an airless sprayer, undiluted and
in the desired thickness. Brushes or rollers may be used for smaller areas. Up to 100 – 200 ml/m² may be
applied in one operation to vertical surfaces and roofs, without loss of material. The exact amount depends
on the absorbency of the substrate.
SMARTSEAL MASONRY PROTECTION CREAM
– TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Storage
Smartseal Masonry Protection Cream has a shelf life of at least 12 months when stored between 0°C and
30°C in the tightly closed original container. The ‘Best use before end date’ of each batch appears on the
product label. Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product
is no longer usable In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for
quality assurance reasons.
